To all whom '52? may emwem Be i i; lanes-m fillet 1 GE? e citizen 0f the United ees, residing at Wereesaie1' in the county es Worcester end 01*.

The upward msvemez the. gelvanizell pmduslthreugh the charcoal tends to remeve e e surplus metal from "the verticsl strands and also from flue top and sides of the transverse strands of the product.
